Dexterity AI (Redwood City, CA), provider for full-task warehouse robots, today announced the launch of its Robotic Print and Apply Palletizer. Targeting operations that require case-level labeling, it provides a one-robot workflow to ensure data like routing or SKU barcodes are applied to each case in a pallet before shipment.
With the adoption of new labeling requirements, in addition to existing labeling compliance from aerospace and defense customers, shippers have added intensively manual processes to their workflows. Labeling each case before it is shipped often requires a single team member taking a case off a pallet, adding a label, then reloading the product on a new pallet, introducing additional complexity, time, and cost.Â
Dexterity’s Robotic Print and Apply Palletizer simplifies all these operations with a one-robot layout, reducing the cost of automating what is becoming one of the most time-consuming manual tasks in the warehouse.Â
The system accurately identifies cases, applies labels according to customer requirements, and replicates pallet patterns. Working with a wide variety of pallet/conveyor input and out combinations, Dexterity’s Robotic Print and Apply Palletizer can be used in inbound, storage, and outbound processes.
The system achieves a throughput rate of up to 300 cases per hour, which is approximately 2x faster than the equivalent manual process.Â
Powered by Dexterity’s intelligent AI software platform, the Robotic Print and Apply Palletizer is compatible with messy pallets and random SKU cases, adapting on the fly as single SKU pallets change. The software intelligence of the Robotic Print and Apply Palletizer also ensures it can easily adapt to customers’ existing workflows.
According to Dexterity, the solution can be can be deployed in as little as 48 hours. Dexterity also provides training, real-time monitoring, and issue resolution services in order to ease ramp-up time. Regular releases keep the customer application up to its full potential.
